In 1967, Patrick McGoohan was the biggest television star in the UK. Rather than continue with his hit series "Danger Man" (aka "Secret Agent" in the United States), he would produce a bizarre avant-garde television show called The Prisoner. 

The premise is simple: A secret agent resigns, and is captured by a secret organization that wants to find out why. They place him in a beautiful seaside village resort that is really a prison for secret agents like himself. The series is a cat-and-mouse struggle between "No. 6" (the number assigned to the captured agent) and "No. 2," (the leader of the village). 

The show is much more than that, however. Rob, Kip and Patrick discuss the show's themes, weirdness, and overall high-quality. 

Note: Rob's microphone was, unfortunately, his webcam for the first 30 minutes of the podcast. It reverts back to his usual vocal mic in the latter half. Sorry for the reduction in quality!
